Skinny Chicken Parmesan and Cheesy Spaghetti Squash

So I was off work today for the holiday and I have to say it was a fabulous day off. I went to Barry's this morning with a dear friend that is in town from NYC, went to Juice Nashville, the dermatologist and home for the rest of the day to relax. Well I relaxed while folding clothes and cleaning the house. I didn't have a clue what I was going to make for dinner but I had spaghetti squash that I had to cook before it went bad. Dave is not much on Spaghetti made of spaghetti squash, he would much rather have noodles. So I came up with Cheesy Spaghetti squash boats and Skinny Chicken Parmesan.

Cheesy Spaghetti Squash Boats

Ingredients

1 Medium Spaghetti Squash

1 Cup of Spaghetti sauce (I love Sweet Tomato Basil)

3/4 cup Shredded Parmesan and Mozzarella Cheese (they have a mixture at Target)

Poke holes with a fork all over the squash. Place a paper towel on a microwave safe plate. Place squash on paper towel and microwave for 5 minutes. Flip squash over and microwave for 5 more minutes. Remove from microwave and be careful because it will be really hot! Slice the squash in half, long ways. Remove seeds from both sides. Use fork to separate the squash so it looks like spaghetti. Pour 1/2 cup of sauce into each boat. Stir and coat squash. Cover with cheese. Broil until cheese is bubbly.
